Description

Open Science aims to open up the whole research cycle to society, reinforcing the idea of scientific knowledge as a public good. Open Science leverages on new digital technologies and facilitates inclusiveness, openness, participation and collaboration across the globe. It embraces open access to publications, data, codes, methodologies, ethics and integrity, open research evaluation, open educational resources and multi-stakeholder engagement in research. Open Science is implemented in parallel with Responsible Research and Innovation that share some of its goals and are both boosted by different scientific communities, governments and the European Commission.

Our target audience is the scientific community from academia and industry, policymakers and funders, industry, civil society organisations and the education community. The main outcome of this B·Debate will be a call for action on Open Science, with the potential to become a living guide for the implementation of Open Science in Catalonia and Spain. This will include concrete recommendations for different stakeholders, as has been done in the Netherlands or Portugal.

Registration closes on October 2. Register here!
Late-breaking abstract submission open until July 16.

The scientific practices that are currently used meet important and diverse criticisms: having to pay for access to most publications, reproducibility issues, an assessment system that is not sufficiently based on bibliographic indicators and the scarce influence the general society has on decision-making and path-setting, among others. Researchers from around the world gathered at B·Debate to discuss the concept of open science.
